EDITED: The response here speaks volumes. To be clear -- this is due to me informing them that a certain rapper they posted has a very real history misogynoir. An interview of his is making rounds again of him not believing Black women were victims of a horrendous crime because they were Black women and not white or lightskinned women. I personally don't understand how educating on misogynoir is "hate." It seems that whoever runs this account treats it like their personal page and not a way to interact with an neighborhood institution that is meant to center Black history, culture, and art It's sad and I wish it could be different, especially for the communities they claim to serve. It's unprofessional and clearly just driven by the cult of celebrity. And they have an exhibition up called "Uncensored" too, ironically. Museums, especially of this type, are so important during these times. This is why it's painful, as longtime Black resident of Brooklyn, to write this review. Idk who their content manager is for their socials, but they'll post their fav celebrities and people who constantly spew hateful or harmful rhetoric about Black people and especially Black women. Then, they'll post something snarkily dissing Kanye. Each time I try to have non combative convos about this, they reply rudely and block me. In these times idk why we wouldn't center learning and care for all members of our community. They'd rather not just so they can continue to post their favs. It's weird of a museum centered on the Black diaspora to do this, and whoever runs the socials is immature and needs some training.
